SOLUTION-FOCUSED HYPNOTHERAPY IN BICESTER, OXFORDSHIRE & ONLINE.
Feel calmer. Think clearer. Move forward.
Helping you break free from stress, anxiety, unhelpful patterns - so you can feel more like yourself again.
WELCOME TO HEADFIRST HYPNOTHERAPY
Hi, I’m Andy (he/him), a fully accredited caring, upbeat, and inclusive Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist, Counsellor & Psychotherapist in Bicester, Oxfordshire.
HeadFirst Hypnotherapy is a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy practice based in Upper Heyford near Bicester in Oxfordshire, offering in-person and online sessions for adults and young people.
I work in a calm, ethical and evidence-informed way, supporting people with anxiety, stress, confidence, sleep difficulties and emotional wellbeing — always at a pace that feels safe, respectful and collaborative
At its heart, my work is about helping you feel more at ease in your own mind. Many people come to me feeling stuck in overthinking, self-doubt or unhelpful mental loops. Together, we explore practical ways to respond differently to thoughts and emotions, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop habits and perspectives that better support the life you want to be living.
In a nutshell, I help you stop getting caught in your own head — because, let’s be honest, most of us do at times. My approach is warm, encouraging and professional… and yes, therapy can still feel human, engaging, and even a little bit enjoyable.
I trained at the Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training School (CPHT), a recognised Centre of Excellence in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. I hold both the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) and the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD).
I’m registered with the CNHC, AfSFH and NCH, follow a strict ethical code, and undertake regular supervision and CPD. I’m Enhanced DBS checked and fully insured.
I believe therapy should feel positive, empowering and forward-looking. My aim is to help you identify meaningful, achievable steps towards change — in a way that feels motivating rather than overwhelming.
You’ll find useful information throughout this site, including FAQs, session details and what to expect.

How Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy Works
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy combines practical talking therapy with guided relaxation (hypnosis), working with how the brain naturally responds to stress, patterns, and change.
Rather than analysing the past, this approach focuses on where you are now and how you want things to be moving forward — helping you build more helpful patterns of thinking, feeling and responding over time.
A simple, forward-focused approach
Many people notice changes not just in the area they initially came for, but in how they think, feel, and respond more generally. The process is collaborative, supportive, and designed to help you feel more within your control as you move forward.
We focus on solutions, not problems
Sessions are structured, practical, and goal-oriented
Hypnosis helps the mind access a calm, focused state
This supports the brain to develop new, more helpful patterns
You remain aware, in control, and able to engage at your own pace.
